Smocking, a hand sewing technique taken from the fashion industry, gathers the fabric into pleats and forms patterned reliefs on the upholstery.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The embroidery collection was inspired by the need to present the craftsmanship of sofa upholstery in a new way of the furniture industry. The craftsmanship in the original sofa uses the technique of pulling the hub to show the details of the craft. From this idea, we would like to apply handicraft techniques in other ways. By join in the work by choosing techniques from fabric work like smocking crafts.
- Inspiration
- We inspired from if we want to create craftsmanship on a sofa in a new perspective, how we can create so we choose techniques from fabric work like smocking crafts that require both techniques talent, and delicacy by using sewing techniques, gently pick up the pleats and sew. To create bas-reliefs into various patterns. we used this smocking technique instead of the original hub pulling technique which creates a pattern and details that are different from the original form of the sofa.
- Research
- Smocking detail from fashion industry.
- Challenge
- The challenge of this collection is how to join a new perspective of craftmanship in upholstery furniture. We use craftmanship from other idea likes smocking detail in fashion industry to combine with traditional upholstery technique to create new pattern on this collection.
- Realization and Technology
- handcraft in smocking detail with craftmanship in upholstery factory. Combining material of fabric and leather in our product.
- Operation and Interaction
